Tools

• iana_get_registry_records

  Read records from any IANA XML registry by id, e.g. registry "tls-parameters" with subregistry "tls-parameters-4" (TLS Cipher Suites), "protocol-numbers", "http-methods", or "cbor-tags"; an iana.org/assignments URL also works. Filter with `value` (exact match on the key column, or on the column `field` names; digits compare by number with a cell of digits ("0443" finds "443") and one 0x token with a one-token 0x cell ("0x5" finds "0x05"), each also matching its own kind of range row ("105-199", "0x11-0xff"); other 0x forms compare their digits as written, in any comma, space, or brace spelling) and `contains` (words in any field; records with a field equal to the words come first). When a registry has several sub-registries and none is given, the response lists them instead of records; a table that nests tables lists them too. Field names are the registry's XML element names (e.g. "rec" is the Recommended column). Large registries page through `cursor`. Find ids with iana_search_registries.

• iana_get_rfc_status

  Get the current status of up to 10 RFCs, Internet-Drafts, or BCP/STD/FYI series in one call. Accepts "RFC 9110", "rfc9110", "9110", draft names with or without a revision suffix ("draft-ietf-httpbis-semantics-19"), series numbers ("BCP 14"), RFC and draft file names ("rfc9110.txt"), the URL of an RFC or draft on datatracker.ietf.org, tools.ietf.org, or ietf.org or of an RFC on rfc-editor.org, and a series URL at rfc-editor.org/info/ or datatracker.ietf.org/doc/ ("https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bcp14/"). RFCs return current and as-published status, stream, working group, obsoletes/obsoleted-by and updates/updated-by relations, the series they belong to, and the errata page; drafts return their state, IESG state, intended status, expiry, the document that replaced them, and the RFC they became; a series returns its member RFCs. Unknown ids return found: false. A call makes at most 20 Datatracker requests, retries included (an RFC or a series needs one, plus one per call for the RFCs' series; a draft three, or four with a revision suffix): each id is taken in request order if its requests still fit, and the others come back in failed with reason request_limit, to pass in another call.

• iana_lookup_http_field

  Look up a registered HTTP field (header or trailer) name. Pass exactly one of `name` (case-insensitive, e.g. "Cache-Status") or `keyword` (words matched against field names and comments). Returns the registration status — permanent, provisional, deprecated, or obsoleted — the Structured Field type when registered, and the defining reference. Many widely used headers are unregistered; a miss means only that IANA has no entry.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_http_status

  Look up an HTTP status code in the IANA registry, or search reason phrases. Pass exactly one of `code` (100–599) or `keyword` (e.g. "too many"). Returns the registered phrase, its class, defining reference with section, and whether it is temporary, obsoleted, or unused; an unassigned code returns found: false with the unassigned range it falls in.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_language_tag

  Parse and validate a BCP 47 language tag against the IANA Language Subtag Registry, or search subtags by description. Pass exactly one of `tag` (e.g. "zh-Hant-TW", "sr-Latn", "en_US") or `description` (e.g. "Swiss German"). A tag is split into language, extlang, script, region, variant, extension, and private-use parts; each part is checked, deprecated subtags report their preferred value, and a canonical tag is returned when the tag is valid. A single subtag registered under several types (e.g. "TW") lists the other types.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_media_type

  Look up registered media (MIME) types. Pass exactly one of `type` (a full name such as "application/json"; parameters after ";" are ignored) or `keyword` (words matched against registered type names and status annotations, e.g. "geo json"; never against file extensions). An exact `type` lookup also reads the registration template and returns its file-extension, intended-usage, and deprecated-alias statements as written, each only when the template has it. Some registered types have no registration template (`template.available: false`); their references are the defining documents. Deprecated and obsoleted types are reported with their replacement when the registry names one. Unregistered "x-" types are not in the registry.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_pen

  Look up a Private Enterprise Number (PEN). Pass exactly one of `pen` (a number such as 32473, or an OID under 1.3.6.1.4.1 such as 1.3.6.1.4.1.32473.1.2) or `organization` (words matched against organization names). Returns the organization and its OID prefix. Arcs below the enterprise number are assigned by the enterprise, not IANA. Contact details are not returned.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_port

  Look up IANA service name and transport protocol port assignments. Pass exactly one of `port` (a number, 0–65535), `service` (an exact service name such as "postgresql"), or `keyword` (words matched against service names and descriptions). Results list every transport (tcp, udp, sctp, dccp) separately, report the registry range row containing an unassigned port, and classify the port as System (0–1023), User (1024–49151), or Dynamic/Private (49152–65535). Service names registered without a port (DNS-SD names) appear with no port.

  shallow
• iana_lookup_uri_scheme

  Look up a registered URI scheme. Pass exactly one of `scheme` (e.g. "mailto"; a trailing ":" or "://" is ignored) or `keyword` (words matched against scheme names and descriptions). Returns the status — permanent, provisional, or historical — description, references, and well-known URI support.

  shallow
• iana_search_registries

  Find IANA protocol registries and sub-registries by keyword over their titles and protocol categories, e.g. "tls cipher", "dns resource record", "protocol numbers". Returns the registry and sub-registry ids that iana_get_registry_records reads, with registration procedure and defining documents. Covers every registry linked from the IANA protocol registries index.
